I used an S/S kneebiter in place of the Anklerender--with the additional speed, I was able to kill Defiled Earth on that last turn with a leap, then used Emerald Proto-drake (emerald presence up, emerald dream at half hp) to clean up and bring a carry pet.

Lizzybeth wrote on 2018-03-02 15:41:47

Strategy worked well with Emerald Proto-Whelp with 2-1-1 in the third slot. Healing must be done on the Whelp's first turn.

I find that this strategy only works with Primal Cry instead of Leap.

Primal Cry > Black Claw > Hunting Party > Die

Then bring in your Water Spirit and use Water Jet to KO Defiled Earth.

I think you'll want an Emerald Proto-Whelp in the last slot though just as insurance.

Daedrynn wrote on 2016-10-02 21:21:55

Tried this one about ten times with Emerald Proto-Whelp as my third and I could not get it to work even once. The Anklerender dies with about 1/3 of the health left on the first enemy. It takes two rounds to kill the first enemy off with the Water Spirit, and by that time, the Spirit is more than half dead, and the Whelp is almost dead in the back line. The enemy still has two pets with full health. Is this fight breed dependent, or did the boss pets get buffed?

wrote on 2016-10-17 23:55:33

I'm not seeing the problem.

With an S/S Anklerender, which is faster than Defiled Earth, but the weakest breed, I am getting 88 * 3 hits on the first round and 333 * 3 hits on the second round, with no crits, for a total of 1263. Add to that the 206 * 2 he does to himself with Stone Rush with Shattered Defenses. Leap, with Shattered Defenses but again no crit is giving 638 damage, more than enough to finish him off.

My P/B is slower, but does 121 * 3 hits and 365 * 3, again leaving Defiled Earth vulnerable to one Leap.

If Defiled Earth's Fel Corruption, Stone Rush or first Quake crit, that could kill the Anklerender, but we're looking at something like a 15% chance, not something you would see 10 times in a row very often. What Breed were you running?

You say "1/3 of the health left on the first enemy". That suggests the Anklerender dies before the Leap. That would be consistent with a crit from Defiled Earth, but 10 in a row sounds like extreme bad luck. What breed were you using?

Kathleene wrote on 2017-09-18 17:11:03

I'm having exactly the same problem as Daedrynn and Chrys. The only Anklerender I have are P/S, and the strategy doesn't specify a specific breed.

Chrys wrote on 2016-12-20 19:11:25

I seem to be having the same issue as Daedrynn. I have tried quite a few time, around ten, and no matter what my zandalari keeps dying before the first leap. He isn't getting crit attacks, but he is in fact slower than the defiled.
i have been unable to win with this strat. I was trying to use this strat to level my Ikky the rest of the way.

Wired wrote on 2016-08-08 00:05:48

I used the Zandalari Kneebiter in place of the Anklerender. Black Claw, Hunting Party then Bloodfang. I was one attack from a successful 2 pet attack because of the healing from Bloodfang.

thebl4ckd0g wrote on 2016-07-30 21:14:39

Since I don't have Ikky capped out yet, I'm trying Strat 2, but it looks like it's from before the Legion pre-patch, bc you have both Geyser and Whirlpool still listed in the rotation...

Hey there!
That was a mistake on my end. It's corrected now.

Nissalee wrote on 2016-07-21 19:05:48

Great strat, though I found my Zandalari dying too soon, putting a lot of unnecessary strain on my other two. Ikky works great in this particular fight because he has the same mechanics, but takes so much less damage from Defiled Earth.

Thanks for the suggestion! Added as the main strategy :-)
